WEEK ONE IN REVIEW

I totally thought this was going to be harder than it sounds but so far so good! It’s prettyyy easyyy peasyyyy.
I have a terrible sweet tooth, though! I find that if I snack on a dried fruit or have a can of no sugar added Coconut water,  it eases it. I have not touched any carbs, sweets, or anything off of the “do not eat” list.
This week was definitely easier than I thought it would be! I wasn’t cranky or hungry. I felt full and by Day 5, my dress pants were fitting looser and let’s just say my bowel movements are more than normal (did I just put that on the internet??).
I’m so tempted to weigh myself but if those numbers on the scale haven’t changed, I’ll be so disappointed and discouraged that I’ll allow a slip or two…which is NOT allowed! So I will have to challenge myself to stay away from the scale.
